"There's no danger of anyone finding you have the passion for replicating the live music experience. "No I don't but I don't have a problem with those that do. Fact is given the recordings I chose to purchase such a purpose is bound to fail.
"You're missing the entire point of the article. Differences exist and for some strange reason, Kaplan points out there are some who attack those who hear those differences and claim they are somehow delusional."
So? My father bought a Bose home theater system and showed it to me with the greatest enthusiasm. Why should I kill his joy?
Funny thing was they researched the industry and this is what they felt was an informed decision. They ponied up extra cash for the Bose system and IMO was a status purchase. Indeed they were very proud of their choices.
For people like him and maybe most people the kinds of articles that ruffle the audiophiles feathers are perfectly appropriate. The fact is the same chords are struck when marketing audiophile gear to audiophiles - difference being every budding audiophile knows that Bose is bad news.The vast majority of people aren't even willing to use CD quality source material. Why what these people think or say is important to audiophiles is beyond me. WTF would an audiophile care? And conversely why would someone into high compression mp3 care about the PONO or high res? Like I said elsewhere in this thread - the defensiveness and insecurity on the part of audiophiles is gross. Hey if this is how we chose to use our bandwidth maybe those detractors are onto something.
